Bitcoin and crypto’s issues in general stem mainly from an ill-informed model of how the system should work. Fractional reserve banking was never and can never be a functional model for bitcoin. Thinking of Bitcoin as literal in your hand gold would, in my less-than humble opinion, significantly clarify how Bitcoin should be used. It’s […]
I recently started working with a new company and am rapidly becoming more familiar with GMail and it’s “assumptions” I wrote this feedback message to them: What has happened over the last several years?

I’ve been drinking coffee my whole life. Some would say I started way to early. Along the way I’ve perfected? the art of making coffee in a drip coffee maker. Without more than a glance at the consistency of the grounds I can tell you how much coffee is too much to put in the […]

The road to writing a web-focused note taking app you’ll actually enjoy using.
Efficient cross platform development seems so out of reach. I’ve yearned to create cross platform applications since college, but recently the dev bug has gotten ahold of me. Due to all the systems I regularly use: Main desktop: Linux, Work: Windows, Mobile: macOS; I really only want to write a piece of software once and […]
I’ve almost always been told this is too hard a problem to solve, so why even try. I never really know how to respond to this reaction. Usually I respond to this type of quip with one of two assumptions: they’re a lazy person, I don’t know what I don’t know. When this problem was […]
